Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This is an extremely short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too.
